The Need to Choose If it were easy to choose Essence over the ego, everyone would be happy and free from suffering. This choice is difficult because you are programmed to be attracted to thoughts and to the objects of the world. Without that programming, you would be born knowing your divinity, and you would miss out on the experience of feeling you are an independent entity with a will, and you would miss out on all the experiences, learning, and growth that go with that. This Mystery is designed to veil the truth of your divinity and the existence of only One so that that One can have experiences. It is through giving you a mind that is programmed in the way it is programmed that this is accomplished. So the catch is that you are programmed to choose the ego over Essence until a time comes in your evolution for the realization of the truth to surface. Given that you are reading this now, it is likely that the time is approaching for this realization, if it hasn't already arrived. When the time comes to awaken, Essence calls to you in a number of ways, and you begin to experience Essence more often and for longer periods of time. What we will be exploring are some of the many ways the Divine calls to you and makes itself known. Some of these ways are so obvious that they are overlooked or discounted. Other ways require diligent looking before the Divine's face is seen. The desire to experience the Divine and the choice to look for it come, of course, from the Divine itself, since there is no other. At a certain point in a person's evolution, the Divine seeks itself. It calls to itself and awakens itself so that it can live and breathe more fully through that body, mind, and personality. It beckons itself Home. In the coming chapters, we are going to take a look at some of the ways the Divine does this. But first, it is important to realize that the Divine is everywhere and in everything, including within every experience.
Thank you for this. I realized during this that I have for many years held a subconscious judgement and shame over my sadness…I see now that I can accept and appreciate my sadness and not feel like it is something wrong to try to heal and fix or “get rid of”. It gets healed more with acceptance than judgement ❤
But why are you sad? Why agree to just have sadness? Suffering is a choice. This just lets you get comfortable being sad, no, find out why and heal it. Why is this acceptable to you? It doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you, and asking yourself to heal that isn’t being self judging either.. you are aware of a deep sadness yet you’re ok with that? You don’t see that as a symptom that needs to be healed? Or you will use what she said as an excuse to not heal? I am all about self acceptance, but confused as to why you’d keep something that leaves you in lower dimensional consciousness when you CAN heal it and make it a priority? Please help me understand
Release judgment and shame…. And discover what’s causing your sadness and heal it! Why stop there? It doesn’t mean you can never be sad again, but you’re not supposed to unpack the suitcase and live there in sadness. Or just agree that it’s always going to be there as a lingering emotion. That can come and go as it pleases for no reason. It doesn’t mean you can’t ever feel sad, but sadness is dis-ease … it’s a sickness that should be cared for and treated with compassion and love and let go of.. you CAN heal it! I’m healed. No more PTSD from SA and a very violent relationship- anxiety and severe panic disorder. I see things in a different perspective, I have been through an awakening… kundalini as well … I put healing as my number one priority which included solitude… sister, I say this with love and compassion, please don’t just choose to live with sadness… we are all old souls. That’s no excuse. Find out what’s causing it. ❤
@@jennimoore3242let me see if I undeserved correctly what @LevelUpYourLife actually meant. I don’t think she said the goal is to accept sadness as in to resign oneself into the depths of low vibrational living in sadness. I think she was saying that she was rather resisting it instead of acknowledging it, and working with it, and through it. What you resist persists. But if you allow it to be, give it a space to express itself through you, if you truly sit with the enormity of the feeling, feel it, listen to it, it will naturally dissipate on its own. That is an actual healing technique. Accepting it, feeling it, allowing it to be and express itself… This is what I heard from the original post.
Anyone who's devote time to analyze, understand or fix sad and depressing thoughts and feelings would not succeed 😭 and make it worse we have to overlook it and not spend time on it 😊
I 100% agree with this! The longer I'm on this path, the more I have difficulty with many spiritual groups because they don't look at the "darkness". It's only about "the light". But you can't have one without the other and I deeply resonate with that truth. Thank you for sharing!
That's because you are evolving snd need to move forward. At some point you are going to need only yourself and it should be okay. If their message served you at some point, that was its purpose but maybe you stayed too long ❤❤❤
For decades I bragged, "I never get angry" Over the last few months I broke down and exploded - all I could do was get angry - what a shift, what a gift. I released so many and so much that was inauthentic
@@ZanzeSheeRoh suppressed emotions always find a way out eventually. Sounds like you went off like a volcano but no one was hurt in the process. Congrats 🍾
Thank you for the reminder that it’s okay to be my full self, not only what society approves of ❤ I also realise how blessed I am to have found a local healer that is very much like you 🤗 honest, who embraces both parts and teaches in alignment with all that you say which gives me comfort, reassurance and creates a safe space for healing. Much much love Christina 💖
I’m a hypnotherapist who some of my clients have described as a “light worker”. I’ve done past life regression therapy and know that I was a Viking about 1000 years ago and died young. In that short life I saw enough violence that today im very anti-war. But I also feel very isolated since my friends aren’t very spiritual. I’m currently doing IFS to heal my trauma and it’s a slow process. I’ve been mostly working on dating because that’s where I’m struggling the most and I sleep poorly due to loneliness. It’s comforting to know that many spiritual people have a lot of heaviness and sadness also. I do feel that I’m an old soul and that the world is going through a profound shift right now. I just want to play my part in it the best that I can.
I have struggled with sleep for decades but a year ago I got to sleep mask with Bluetooth headphones in it and I listen to frequency healing sounds while I'm sleeping and it has changed everything for me. Maybe you should give it a try. I got a cheap sleep mask off Amazon for 23 bucks or so and I use videos that I find here. They even help with physical pain and illness. I do binaural beats as well, and it has improved my sleep so much that I no longer take any meds. Maybe it would help you as well. ❤
I believe I was a princess in a past life and I wanted to feel how being poor feels? And here I am….. poor and lonely 😭 I can honestly say being a princess 👸 was better 😟
And going through an kundalini awakening alone 😮 even if it is? For all I know it could be a complete psychotic breakdown? But I had one of them last October 😮 maybe my life is just a constant psychotic episode? 😂 I use humour to cover my pain
@@Utubeat I feel I was some kind of royalty in a past life too and although I'm not alone in this life, I am in terms of my spiritual journey and I have had to endure a lot of poverty and hardship under authoritarian control this lifetime. Not fun but it has definitely made me a more compassionate person ❤️
Thank you Christina for reminding us of this. I cry very much and often, sometimes without knowing where that comes from. I noticed that tears create the same connection to the heart as joy and love does. To me, sadness feels as sacred as every other part of us. I also laugh a lot by the way 😊 Christina, thank you sooooo much for your kind words ♥️✨
Grieving our old pains creates increased capacity for joy. 😊 I think Matt and Joy Kahn just did a video where they mentioned that there are emotions that are intrinsically linked and how working with one facilitates the other. Like how we don't ever become courageous before we do the thing we are afraid of, it is in feeling the fear and doing it anyway that we develop the courage to handle similar situations moving forward.
@@Angelwing1963 be careful that "too much" isn't a judgement made by someone who doesn't know that crying is way that your body releases pent up stress and negative emotions. It's a by product of processing, it means you're honoring your body. Emotions are more like a compass; they're morally neutral, all of them are valid (although some can be from the past and not relevant to the people and places of the present moment). Our feelings don't alter our worth or our value, we experience them, they aren't who we are as a whole. I have experienced time frames in which I have cried too much, so that it prevented me from working. If it interferes with your life, that is "too much." Don't let anyone else tell you anything otherwise. It is a natural physical release.
I’m so tired of being an old soul, especially in the world as it is today. I’m 75, and I hope I never have to come back to this very cruel world. Too much suffering around me, including having a deeply troubled, lost adult son. I’m here to help him find some peace before I leave. I pray that he can.
I deeply feel the pain of coming across so many spiritual people who are emotionless, fragmented, and unable to become fully emotionally intelligent and fully integrated in our humanity with our divine nature being the driving force. This is the first I'm hearing that detachment comes from patriarchy! Thank you for that wisdom!
Not All ancient souls here at the moment are from this earth experience. MANY are here specifically to aid humanity in their ascendancy into higher consciousness. They had no need for an earth life. They came to be of service in a time of need.
What a useful information. I had to go through so many challenges, rock bottoms after my spiritual awakening, and that helped me to go deep and transform my dense emotions into love and light, and work is still in progress. ❤
Old soul here. I’ve felt the weight of the world since I was very young. Even my mom said “you were your own little adult” this makes a lot of sense 🙏🏻
Thankyou Christina for bringing up the patriarchy, so important! So missed in much 'spiritual talk'. We are here to EMBODY our emotions, understand and master them. Our heart, our emotional centre is powerful.
** I will tell you this was very enlightening. I used to watch your vids many years ago, maybe 5?, but stopped bc I found them too repetitive, a little condescending, and as you said, aggressive. You recently popped up again, and I REALLY see a difference! I actually hear how WISE you are now, and I FEEL the authenticity coming from you. You're very real and in touch and clearly have a TON to share! So, thank you for sharing your deep work and honesty with us. **
This is so fascinating! My spiritual awakening was completely different because it happened while I was doing very productive and intensive therapy work so when I woke up, I fully embraced both my humanity and my consciousness experiencing life itself. Enlightenment, in my journey and understanding, is chipping away the noise of the world and remembering who were. You’re a cosmic paradox. You’re both the drop in the ocean and the ocean in a drop. Both lightness and melancholy. Both joy and sadness. Both pain and pleasure. Both the future and the past. Both thoughts and observer. Both fragility and infinity. You’re the Universe experiencing itself through life. You’re human. Wonderfully, human. Living in the eternal present.
I have been on the spiritual path for many years now; when I fell in love last year, there was an incredible sadness and pain for a long time; I always felt that these feelings were somehow right, but at the same time I also felt a lot of shame; after so much work on myself, I should finally be happy, full of joy; “where is the joy in my life? What am I doing wrong?”, I asked myself for a long time. But intuitively I kept on feeling what wanted to be felt. This video today is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on this topic! It touched me deeply. Thank you dear Christina - you have been with me for a long time; when I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2019, I was convinced that I also needed a spiritual approach to get out of this - thanks to your videos I took courage and realized that many of my symptoms were simply Ascension Symptoms - many of my fears, the thought of losing my mind; it's nice to see your development and that you share your experiences with so many people through your videos; many, many thanks and best regards from Vienna, Austria, Europe :)
God told me that the life we live is like a coin with 2 faces: sadness and happiness, love and light. The ego make we focus on love and light and deny all shadow, pain that might come up, while it’s all about us. It’s all us. We come here on earth to accept who we truly are which meant there is no good or bad, is neutral, is all good. I am resonates with your sharing.
years of working on the self 2021 2022 dark night of the soul been doing the inner healing since ✨️ 😊same dread sadness angry hermit mode thank God it's alot better now...❤
This video brings me to tears! I always feel old. When I was 20 years old, I joked about " physical I am 20 years old but mentally and psychologically I am 40." When I reach 40 years old, I said "physically I am 40 years old but mentally and psychologically I am 60." When you mentioned about "old soul" , everything makes sense to me now. My life is great now. No financial, job, marriage or kids issues. But each time when I went to retreats for the healing, breathwork. Or even medicine trip, I felt this deep sadness. I don't know why, what, how?! Thank you, Christina for making this video. I understand better now. Deeply appreciate ❤💗💕 Love, Sandy Willmore
Thanks for speaking out against all these toxic forms of spirituality. I honestly thought that waking up would give more connection to other spiritual people, but most of them just seem to be busy being in denial of themselves and the world around them. It gives me hope that there are people like you who can see this and name it for what it is, toxic spirituality. That being said, I hope everyone is doing well and are integrating the parts of themselves that they've lost over time. Life is not always fun, but that's the point. No pain, no growth. No contrast and disappointment, no getting to know yourself. Good luck everyone! We're still in this together! :)
You're right. 7:08 there. Even Buddhism attests that it is the path of the intellect, but that it can only take you so far and at some point, you have to give that up, too. Now IS the time for the Divine Feminine to merge with all this masculine energy that's been hanging around for centuries. Let's go!
Not to dismiss the work of Eckhart Tolle because that is the expression of his soul which helped many also. He is not only big on Presence but also how to tackle, recognizing and feeling the pain body which are the emotional wounds. I appreciate your work Christina, being an old soul really indeed is a challenge. So much pain all throughout these years and the isolation. I'm still on my journey of how to turn this into a gift. Sending love and light to those who are going through thesame.
I love inside out too! Inside out thaught me that sadness is needed in healing in any situation and that all emotions are needed such as anger and caugtion too. Loved this message Christina and team ❤
There is much truth and wisdom in this. Thank you for speaking so eloquently, so passionately, on behalf of the old souls who are on their path of authentic self. And thank you for the courage to raise very real contentious matters within the spiritual community. Keep dancing and placing one foot in front of the other to the beat of your own heart drum. It knows. Leave the rest behind. "Feel it to heal it" has shown it is a potent and authentic alchemist to me time and again.
It felt so heavy watching this video. I couldn’t control my emotions and I cried & I’m not quite sure why… I’ve been binge watching all your videos and you explain things so well. I’m just grateful & thankful that you popped up on my UA-cam.
This old soul feels it. I was crying deeply just before I came on and saw this. I've been stepping into fear, slowly letting go of old beliefs/attachments and had many revelations. I also started my own YT channel and posted my first vid. You've been a great help. Could you believe I had an attachment to letting go?. There's irony for you.
The way I understood Eckardt was that he meant that while meditating practice to view the thought and the emotion without becoming the emotion. But he never said that one shouldn't feel the emotion, rather be aware of it allow it and observe it until it dissipates. That is in contrary to pushing emotions away. Making space for healing is what he is all about. Or that's how I understood it. He is a strong believer of what you resist persists.
Great video. Thankyou. Am going through another dark night. Tumultuous and brilliant. A real breakthrough in celebrating vulnerability and the heavier emotions of grief. Thankyou for reminding me to surrender to the sadness. So much wisdom and strength
This is one of the most important videos you’ve ever made Christina. I’m crying bc this is the truth and everything I needed to hear today. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Thank you Christina. As always such a timely message for me. As I begin to step into my power and share my healing journey I can only be authentic. Because of the current sadness in my family due to my decision to end a 25 year marriage your wisdom is exactly what I needed. I was tempted to run from this sadness but now I will sit and transform it into even deeper love for myself and my family. ❤
This was comforting. I always had the instinct to validate “both” sides of the coin. Balancing, harmonizing, and validating the polarities because somewhere in all of that awareness is the truth. I’m currently trying to let go of distortions from the past that are in the way of me feeling present.
I can't tell you how thankful I am for finding you.... I've had my ups and downs in my spiritual journey,but I always return to your videos... I resonate with you the most... I literally watched this video sobbing... Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and wisdom, it helps tremendously....❤ Sending you all the love and support...❤❤❤
Absolutely fantastic video and full of truth and wisdom no matter you are an old soul or not! This positivity revolution has made people judge even more! Judge themselves and others! Every single emotion that pays you a visit is asking for your attention and love and compassion! By loving our fears, our sadness, our anger, our anxieties is how we release them and set ourselves free to live the most authentic life possible ❤. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this video 🙏❤️
this video is so beautiful. i’ve always been sad and a “cry baby” even when there’s nothing in particular to be sad about. my baseline is just sadness. a doctor said i have “dysthymia” but it doesn’t really resonate with me, this video helps make sense of it.
Thank you so much for this. You have described exactly my struggles with the spirituality movement and how I have judged myself for having deep emotions, hiding myself from people and never truly expressing the depths of me for fear of being seen as weak or unevolved, fearing that the weight of my inner world would make me drop the responsibility of being a wise healer for others. I really want to help others but I cannot DO everything for them at all moments in my life, and of course these waves don't move through me on a schedule that fits into when Iv got my clients booked, right..😂
Thank you Christina🌟 for the first time ever I actually felt totally understood, as an empath I love supporting people and have done so for decades. I am disconnected from all my family and society, I have many friends but still I find it difficult to be truly authentic around sadness & grief with my closest friends. I have had a lot of experiences and have utilised the knowledge from them to assist others which brings me satisfaction and joy. Society and medical practitioners just want to mask/medicate the emotions ...thanks again for allowing me to feel normal...whatever that is 😅 💫💜
Thank you for this incredible message. This resonated with me. I always had a knowing that my sadness along with all of my emotions, made me a beautifully complex human and soul. ❤
Wow, the way you described how you were born sad with a frown on your face is EXACTLY my experience. I dealt with depression in the past and still wrestle from this deep sadness every now and then, but I just learned to honor my emotions and cry it out and go into hermit mode and it always passes in a few days.
Wow! Thank you for that message. You don’t know, but you have been with me since the beginning of my journey. This message came along at the right time because I have been trying desperately to be the observer. My parents always told me I had colic as a baby, and I cried all the time. I didn’t find out until I was in my mid 40s that I had my tongue clipped three times as a baby because I couldn’t suck. I’m tongue tied. It’s a real thing. When I learned this information, I couldn’t help but be disappointed that my parents led me to believe that I was unhappy instead of just hungry. I have learned understanding, I’m not upset with my parents for their lack of knowledge. When I found your channel, I had just started to awaken and I was full of so much joy. I remember you talking about the dark night of the soul and I told myself I wasn’t gonna go there. I’ve been there. Lol. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.🙏💗💗💗
Thank you Christina. This is so important to understand when on this kind of journey. I struggled for so many years, wondering why and what was wrong with me. Working with shadows and accumulating many successes along the way, and then bam, flooded once again and overwhelmed with a sadness that felt was a million years old. A heavinesss that felt deeper and beyond the shadows I faced, much more profound. This video explains such an important topic. I wish I had understood this years ago, and that more healers would embrace the teachings and gifts of walking through this excruciatingly difficult aspect of an awakening journey. You are a gift!
That rocked, sister. You're a life changer. Please keep rocking. Also, I'm gonna share this with some lightworker/goodguy types. You say important things that may make their journey easier or straighter. Also, I dig your hair. It reminds me of a friend who would die to be rocking as hard as you are. Not that she isn't doing some really self-sacrificial stuff in the world, but you would instantly become her hero, her totem, her vision board. Oh I love leaders on this planet.
Thank you for covering this Christina! During my spiritual awakening process, I felt especially isolated when I was having negative feelings and felt like I wasn't doing something right. It actually caused me to be in a substantial slump for a few months. This video helped me feel much more validated! You're the best and I really appreciate your content! It's helped me a TON throughout these different phases I've been going through on my journey! ❤️
Thank you for your authenticity. This needs to be said. I have spent years traversing some very dark heavy emotions and judged myself in the same way. It took a long time to come out of the painful self hatred because of it. Life consists of both light and dark, good and bad, ups and downs and it's all valid. Thank you for speaking up. Your honesty is needed and so appreciated. ❤
I agree.. Deep moments of sadness can be, and most often are powerful moments of inner awareness and a deep connection with our own Heart, and in how our Heart connects us to other's. I look back and see that some of my most meaningful spiritual moments of my past were when I was feeling those deep dense emotions such as sadness, melancholy, despair.
Gosh, it’s like every video you’re talking to me, directly. 4:13 I resonate with everything you’re saying so much. I feel so much sadness all the time and feel like I see the world in a way most normal people don’t and then that makes me more sad at their blindness to it all.
I’ve felt I was an old soul a long time, often that I’m an outsider and don’t understand why things are as they are on Earth. I went through a lot of pain as a young person and tried to unalive myself twice… later, later after going through an awakening one of the biggest shifts for me was when I discovered a spiritual teacher who teaches about darker aspects of spirituality. I learned from this person to feel my emotions, honor them, and to face my trauma, and the darkness within. And accept it. This is what has really helped me on my path back to myself. As when I was growing up, I was taught to repress my emotions. Now I’ve learned to feel them and I’ve gained the strength to do so without self harming or escaping through substance abuse.
This messiness is both, overwhelming and out of this world. Even though it seems earthly it is also divine and eternal. Thanks for so much help and light you've brought me, Christina. I love how everything is developing and making more and more sense... Let's continue with our sacred and marvelous work
Thank you as always Christina, you always have the perfect perspective, at the exact right time. Not sure if you're aware of just how much this content means to those of us who can't make it personally. So very, very grateful 🧚 😍🙏
Thank you I felt that move through my entire body including my spine as well ad well in other ways it spoke to my SOUL and was félt it's a very profound proces to move through the deep emotions Thank you for your presence shared ❤
Thank you, this subject has recently come up for me. How nice to hear I can be more than the observer. You have 'given me permission ' to accept all of me.
It resonated so much with me, as many comments I felt guilty at certain point to feel sadness, even people & your family tell U don't feel sad, & I followed Eckhart Tolle imagine how guilty I felt to detach to my emotions, Thank U, thank U for your wisdom 😇
Thank you for bringing this subject, knowing that the emotions of sadness is okay and all aspects are all part of being human, because that is why we came here was to experience being human. I was told this past year that one of my Granddaughters is a very old soul, and she will be having an awakening soon, she is 6 yrs old, I wish I would of asked what that will look like for her, she is in most respects a very normal child, but there has always been a wisdom within her as. Well. At 3 yrs old she was drawing and she showed her family and when asked what it was she said “a Covid” and it was pretty accurate, considering she was a 3 yr old it was in the midst of Covid, I should add, there are other ways she shows her wisdom, so I was not surprised when I was told she was a very very old soul.

Sadness->your connection to Compassion=your connection to others 🙏🏽💚
I’m a hypnotherapist who some of my clients have described as a “light worker”. I’ve done past life regression therapy and know that I was a Viking about 1000 years ago and died young. In that short life I saw enough violence that today im very anti-war. But I also feel very isolated since my friends aren’t very spiritual. I’m currently doing IFS to heal my trauma and it’s a slow process. I’ve been mostly working on dating because that’s where I’m struggling the most and I sleep poorly due to loneliness. It’s comforting to know that many spiritual people have a lot of heaviness and sadness also. I do feel that I’m an old soul and that the world is going through a profound shift right now. I just want to play my part in it the best that I can.
I have struggled with sleep for decades but a year ago I got to sleep mask with Bluetooth headphones in it and I listen to frequency healing sounds while I'm sleeping and it has changed everything for me. Maybe you should give it a try. I got a cheap sleep mask off Amazon for 23 bucks or so and I use videos that I find here. They even help with physical pain and illness. I do binaural beats as well, and it has improved my sleep so much that I no longer take any meds. Maybe it would help you as well. ❤
I hope your healing brings you the deep companionship and comfort that you desire ❤
I believe I was a princess in a past life and I wanted to feel how being poor feels? And here I am….. poor and lonely 😭 I can honestly say being a princess 👸 was better 😟
And going through an kundalini awakening alone 😮 even if it is? For all I know it could be a complete psychotic breakdown? But I had one of them last October 😮 maybe my life is just a constant psychotic episode? 😂 I use humour to cover my pain
@@Utubeat I feel I was some kind of royalty in a past life too and although I'm not alone in this life, I am in terms of my spiritual journey and I have had to endure a lot of poverty and hardship under authoritarian control this lifetime. Not fun but it has definitely made me a more compassionate person ❤️
Never repress any emotion, always FEEL it to HEAL it.
Blessings! 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙
This speaks to me deeply. Thank you 🙏 💗
Thank you Christina for reminding us of this. I cry very much and often, sometimes without knowing where that comes from. I noticed that tears create the same connection to the heart as joy and love does.
To me, sadness feels as sacred as every other part of us. I also laugh a lot by the way 😊
Christina, thank you sooooo much for your kind words ♥️✨
Beautifully said, your comment hits a nerve with me. Thank You 💫
Grieving our old pains creates increased capacity for joy. 😊 I think Matt and Joy Kahn just did a video where they mentioned that there are emotions that are intrinsically linked and how working with one facilitates the other. Like how we don't ever become courageous before we do the thing we are afraid of, it is in feeling the fear and doing it anyway that we develop the courage to handle similar situations moving forward.
I too cry so much. Happy, sad any reason.
@@Angelwing1963 be careful that "too much" isn't a judgement made by someone who doesn't know that crying is way that your body releases pent up stress and negative emotions. It's a by product of processing, it means you're honoring your body. Emotions are more like a compass; they're morally neutral, all of them are valid (although some can be from the past and not relevant to the people and places of the present moment). Our feelings don't alter our worth or our value, we experience them, they aren't who we are as a whole.
I have experienced time frames in which I have cried too much, so that it prevented me from working. If it interferes with your life, that is "too much." Don't let anyone else tell you anything otherwise. It is a natural physical release.
It’s like this comment could come from me❤️. Thank you 🪻
I’m so tired of being an old soul, especially in the world as it is today. I’m 75, and I hope I never have to come back to this very cruel world. Too much suffering around me, including having a deeply troubled, lost adult son. I’m here to help him find some peace before I leave. I pray that he can.
I deeply feel the pain of coming across so many spiritual people who are emotionless, fragmented, and unable to become fully emotionally intelligent and fully integrated in our humanity with our divine nature being the driving force. This is the first I'm hearing that detachment comes from patriarchy! Thank you for that wisdom!
This is one of the most authentic teachings ever. I felt its truth❤
What a great message. Now, I understand myself a bit better. I’ve always felt sad, even when things were good. Thank you so much for this teaching.
Not All ancient souls here at the moment are from this earth experience. MANY are here specifically to aid humanity in their ascendancy into higher consciousness. They had no need for an earth life. They came to be of service in a time of need.
What a useful information.
I had to go through so many challenges, rock bottoms after my spiritual awakening, and that helped me to go deep and transform my dense emotions into love and light, and work is still in progress. ❤
Old soul here. I’ve felt the weight of the world since I was very young. Even my mom said “you were your own little adult” this makes a lot of sense 🙏🏻
Same! Just want relief now. Ready to be over thinking I have to help everyone or even be a good example. Doesn't work for me anymore!
Thankyou Christina for bringing up the patriarchy, so important! So missed in much 'spiritual talk'. We are here to EMBODY our emotions, understand and master them. Our heart, our emotional centre is powerful.
** I will tell you this was very enlightening. I used to watch your vids many years ago, maybe 5?, but stopped bc I found them too repetitive, a little condescending, and as you said, aggressive. You recently popped up again, and I REALLY see a difference! I actually hear how WISE you are now, and I FEEL the authenticity coming from you. You're very real and in touch and clearly have a TON to share! So, thank you for sharing your deep work and honesty with us. **
This is so fascinating! My spiritual awakening was completely different because it happened while I was doing very productive and intensive therapy work so when I woke up, I fully embraced both my humanity and my consciousness experiencing life itself.
Enlightenment, in my journey and understanding, is chipping away the noise of the world and remembering who were.
You’re a cosmic paradox. You’re both the drop in the ocean and the ocean in a drop. Both lightness and melancholy. Both joy and sadness. Both pain and pleasure. Both the future and the past. Both thoughts and observer. Both fragility and infinity.
You’re the Universe experiencing itself through life.
You’re human. Wonderfully, human. Living in the eternal present.
I’m here! I’m experiencing this lifetime. Within me is the culmination of many lifetimes here! I’m finally realizing EVERYTHING BELONGS!!!
Accepting other's journeys being unique from ours is Unity.
I have been on the spiritual path for many years now; when I fell in love last year, there was an incredible sadness and pain for a long time; I always felt that these feelings were somehow right, but at the same time I also felt a lot of shame; after so much work on myself, I should finally be happy, full of joy; “where is the joy in my life? What am I doing wrong?”, I asked myself for a long time. But intuitively I kept on feeling what wanted to be felt. This video today is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on this topic! It touched me deeply. Thank you dear Christina - you have been with me for a long time; when I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2019, I was convinced that I also needed a spiritual approach to get out of this - thanks to your videos I took courage and realized that many of my symptoms were simply Ascension Symptoms - many of my fears, the thought of losing my mind; it's nice to see your development and that you share your experiences with so many people through your videos; many, many thanks and best regards from Vienna, Austria, Europe :)
Great information it is food for the soul. Tysm for shearing it. ❤
God told me that the life we live is like a coin with 2 faces: sadness and happiness, love and light. The ego make we focus on love and light and deny all shadow, pain that might come up, while it’s all about us. It’s all us. We come here on earth to accept who we truly are which meant there is no good or bad, is
neutral, is all good. I am resonates with your sharing.
years of working on the self 2021 2022 dark night of the soul been doing the inner healing since ✨️ 😊same dread sadness angry hermit mode thank God it's alot better now...❤
This video brings me to tears! I always feel old. When I was 20 years old, I joked about " physical I am 20 years old but mentally and psychologically I am 40." When I reach 40 years old, I said "physically I am 40 years old but mentally and psychologically I am 60." When you mentioned about "old soul" , everything makes sense to me now.
My life is great now. No financial, job, marriage or kids issues. But each time when I went to retreats for the healing, breathwork. Or even medicine trip, I felt this deep sadness. I don't know why, what, how?! Thank you, Christina for making this video. I understand better now. Deeply appreciate ❤💗💕 Love, Sandy Willmore
Thanks for speaking out against all these toxic forms of spirituality. I honestly thought that waking up would give more connection to other spiritual people, but most of them just seem to be busy being in denial of themselves and the world around them. It gives me hope that there are people like you who can see this and name it for what it is, toxic spirituality.
That being said, I hope everyone is doing well and are integrating the parts of themselves that they've lost over time. Life is not always fun, but that's the point. No pain, no growth. No contrast and disappointment, no getting to know yourself.
Good luck everyone! We're still in this together! :)
You're right. 7:08 there. Even Buddhism attests that it is the path of the intellect, but that it can only take you so far and at some point, you have to give that up, too. Now IS the time for the Divine Feminine to merge with all this masculine energy that's been hanging around for centuries. Let's go!
Yes yes yes! The Divine Feminine is our only hope right now. The masculine world has gone bankrupt, and I’m not sure it’s worth bailing it out.
Not to dismiss the work of Eckhart Tolle because that is the expression of his soul which helped many also. He is not only big on Presence but also how to tackle, recognizing and feeling the pain body which are the emotional wounds. I appreciate your work Christina, being an old soul really indeed is a challenge. So much pain all throughout these years and the isolation. I'm still on my journey of how to turn this into a gift. Sending love and light to those who are going through thesame.
Part of that poem .. "Wednesday's child is full of woe" always comes to mind. I was born on a wednesday so it applied 😅
I love inside out too! Inside out thaught me that sadness is needed in healing in any situation and that all emotions are needed such as anger and caugtion too. Loved this message Christina and team ❤
There is much truth and wisdom in this. Thank you for speaking so eloquently, so passionately, on behalf of the old souls who are on their path of authentic self. And thank you for the courage to raise very real contentious matters within the spiritual community. Keep dancing and placing one foot in front of the other to the beat of your own heart drum. It knows. Leave the rest behind. "Feel it to heal it" has shown it is a potent and authentic alchemist to me time and again.
It felt so heavy watching this video. I couldn’t control my emotions and I cried & I’m not quite sure why… I’ve been binge watching all your videos and you explain things so well. I’m just grateful & thankful that you popped up on my UA-cam.
This old soul feels it. I was crying deeply just before I came on and saw this. I've been stepping into fear, slowly letting go of old beliefs/attachments and had many revelations. I also started my own YT channel and posted my first vid. You've been a great help. Could you believe I had an attachment to letting go?. There's irony for you.
Emotions are our Super Powers❤
The way I understood Eckardt was that he meant that while meditating practice to view the thought and the emotion without becoming the emotion. But he never said that one shouldn't feel the emotion, rather be aware of it allow it and observe it until it dissipates. That is in contrary to pushing emotions away. Making space for healing is what he is all about. Or that's how I understood it. He is a strong believer of what you resist persists.
Great video. Thankyou. Am going through another dark night. Tumultuous and brilliant. A real breakthrough in celebrating vulnerability and the heavier emotions of grief. Thankyou for reminding me to surrender to the sadness. So much wisdom and strength
This is one of the most important videos you’ve ever made Christina. I’m crying bc this is the truth and everything I needed to hear today. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Thank you Christina. As always such a timely message for me. As I begin to step into my power and share my healing journey I can only be authentic. Because of the current sadness in my family due to my decision to end a 25 year marriage your wisdom is exactly what I needed. I was tempted to run from this sadness but now I will sit and transform it into even deeper love for myself and my family. ❤
This was comforting. I always had the instinct to validate “both” sides of the coin. Balancing, harmonizing, and validating the polarities because somewhere in all of that awareness is the truth. I’m currently trying to let go of distortions from the past that are in the way of me feeling present.
This is such a great and important video!! Thank you for sharing!🙏💖
Spirituality is both light and dark 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for this. I remember being told as a child that I was an old soul and I felt that. I remember thinking, why yes, yes I am! ❤
I can't tell you how thankful I am for finding you.... I've had my ups and downs in my spiritual journey,but I always return to your videos... I resonate with you the most... I literally watched this video sobbing... Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and wisdom, it helps tremendously....❤ Sending you all the love and support...❤❤❤
Absolutely connects with me - I think I am a very old soul!
Absolutely fantastic video and full of truth and wisdom no matter you are an old soul or not! This positivity revolution has made people judge even more! Judge themselves and others! Every single emotion that pays you a visit is asking for your attention and love and compassion! By loving our fears, our sadness, our anger, our anxieties is how we release them and set ourselves free to live the most authentic life possible ❤. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this video 🙏❤️
Blessing Christina 🙏 to the old souls ,let's dwell into the next level of our evolution
There is medicine inside every emotion...I love this ❤
this video is so beautiful. i’ve always been sad and a “cry baby” even when there’s nothing in particular to be sad about. my baseline is just sadness. a doctor said i have “dysthymia” but it doesn’t really resonate with me, this video helps make sense of it.
Thank you so much for this. You have described exactly my struggles with the spirituality movement and how I have judged myself for having deep emotions, hiding myself from people and never truly expressing the depths of me for fear of being seen as weak or unevolved, fearing that the weight of my inner world would make me drop the responsibility of being a wise healer for others. I really want to help others but I cannot DO everything for them at all moments in my life, and of course these waves don't move through me on a schedule that fits into when Iv got my clients booked, right..😂
Thank you Christina🌟 for the first time ever I actually felt totally understood, as an empath I love supporting people and have done so for decades. I am disconnected from all my family and society, I have many friends but still I find it difficult to be truly authentic around sadness & grief with my closest friends. I have had a lot of experiences and have utilised the knowledge from them to assist others which brings me satisfaction and joy. Society and medical practitioners just want to mask/medicate the emotions ...thanks again for allowing me to feel normal...whatever that is 😅 💫💜
Thank you for this video ❤I am an old soul and it’s exactly what I been living I will no longer hide who I am God bless you 🙏🏼 love you 🥰
I love you Christina. Thank you for your service to humanity
Thank you for this incredible message. This resonated with me. I always had a knowing that my sadness along with all of my emotions, made me a beautifully complex human and soul. ❤
Wow, the way you described how you were born sad with a frown on your face is EXACTLY my experience. I dealt with depression in the past and still wrestle from this deep sadness every now and then, but I just learned to honor my emotions and cry it out and go into hermit mode and it always passes in a few days.
I love this new angle from you ❤ I literally cry watching the part about feminine side of spirituality.
Beautiful. Thank you for this.
I learned that "Love is not for cowards" and now I say:" Darkness is my favourite Lover". Thank you ❤
"Hello, Darkness, my old friend. I've come to speak with you again."
Thank you Christina 🙏🏼 you are a wise teacher indeed. Grateful for this video
Wow! Thank you for that message. You don’t know, but you have been with me since the beginning of my journey. This message came along at the right time because I have been trying desperately to be the observer. My parents always told me I had colic as a baby, and I cried all the time. I didn’t find out until I was in my mid 40s that I had my tongue clipped three times as a baby because I couldn’t suck. I’m tongue tied. It’s a real thing. When I learned this information, I couldn’t help but be disappointed that my parents led me to believe that I was unhappy instead of just hungry. I have learned understanding, I’m not upset with my parents for their lack of knowledge. When I found your channel, I had just started to awaken and I was full of so much joy. I remember you talking about the dark night of the soul and I told myself I wasn’t gonna go there. I’ve been there. Lol. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.🙏💗💗💗
I can relate to profound sadness from nowhere. Life long.blessings and gratitude from Washington State USA
Thank you Christina. This is so important to understand when on this kind of journey. I struggled for so many years, wondering why and what was wrong with me. Working with shadows and accumulating many successes along the way, and then bam, flooded once again and overwhelmed with a sadness that felt was a million years old. A heavinesss that felt deeper and beyond the shadows I faced, much more profound. This video explains such an important topic. I wish I had understood this years ago, and that more healers would embrace the teachings and gifts of walking through this excruciatingly difficult aspect of an awakening journey. You are a gift!
That rocked, sister. You're a life changer. Please keep rocking.
Also, I'm gonna share this with some lightworker/goodguy types. You say important things that may make their journey easier or straighter.
Also, I dig your hair. It reminds me of a friend who would die to be rocking as hard as you are. Not that she isn't doing some really self-sacrificial stuff in the world, but you would instantly become her hero, her totem, her vision board. Oh I love leaders on this planet.
This video is so on point... Thank you.
Thank you for covering this Christina! During my spiritual awakening process, I felt especially isolated when I was having negative feelings and felt like I wasn't doing something right. It actually caused me to be in a substantial slump for a few months. This video helped me feel much more validated!
You're the best and I really appreciate your content! It's helped me a TON throughout these different phases I've been going through on my journey! ❤️
Love & Gratitude beautiful Christina ❤🙏🏻
Thakk you for this video, Christina.
Whenever I feel deep sadness, I know that GOD is welling up in my HEART chakra.
GOD bless you.
Thank you for your authenticity. This needs to be said. I have spent years traversing some very dark heavy emotions and judged myself in the same way. It took a long time to come out of the painful self hatred because of it. Life consists of both light and dark, good and bad, ups and downs and it's all valid. Thank you for speaking up. Your honesty is needed and so appreciated. ❤
Thank you for this gift of understanding.
What a superb take on such an important topic. Thank you for advocating for integration and authentic wholeness of the human experience. Love you.
I agree.. Deep moments of sadness can be, and most often are powerful moments of inner awareness and a deep connection with our own Heart, and in how our Heart connects us to other's. I look back and see that some of my most meaningful spiritual moments of my past were when I was feeling those deep dense emotions such as sadness, melancholy, despair.
Thank you. Penny dropped. So grateful to you xx
This is a very beautiful video Christina! This brought my old soul lots of comfort 🤍
Gosh, it’s like every video you’re talking to me, directly. 4:13 I resonate with everything you’re saying so much. I feel so much sadness all the time and feel like I see the world in a way most normal people don’t and then that makes me more sad at their blindness to it all.
So poignant and spot on! Thank you 🙏
hank You so much for being U being brave sharing are experience and wisdom publicly. 💘
Wow! I feel I have been waiting for this information my entire life. This explains so much about this journey. Thank you 🙏🏼💖✨
I’ve felt I was an old soul a long time, often that I’m an outsider and don’t understand why things are as they are on Earth. I went through a lot of pain as a young person and tried to unalive myself twice… later, later after going through an awakening one of the biggest shifts for me was when I discovered a spiritual teacher who teaches about darker aspects of spirituality. I learned from this person to feel my emotions, honor them, and to face my trauma, and the darkness within. And accept it. This is what has really helped me on my path back to myself. As when I was growing up, I was taught to repress my emotions. Now I’ve learned to feel them and I’ve gained the strength to do so without self harming or escaping through substance abuse.
This messiness is both, overwhelming and out of this world. Even though it seems earthly it is also divine and eternal. Thanks for so much help and light you've brought me, Christina. I love how everything is developing and making more and more sense... Let's continue with our sacred and marvelous work
I absolutely love Inside Out. I felt a deep connection with that movie. Thank you Christina and God bless you.❤🙏
Thank you as always Christina, you always have the perfect perspective, at the exact right time. Not sure if you're aware of just how much this content means to those of us who can't make it personally. So very, very grateful 🧚 😍🙏
Wow! I really needed to hear this! Thank you for this enlightenment and guidance!
Thank you I felt that move through my entire body including my spine
as well ad well in other ways
it spoke to my SOUL
and was félt
it's a very profound proces to move through the deep emotions
Thank you for your presence shared ❤
Thank you, this subject has recently come up for me. How nice to hear I can be more than the observer. You have 'given me permission ' to accept all of me.
Thank you for opening this space for us. I’ve been going through so much grief since 2025 opened. Blessings to everyone going through their journey ❤
Sat here crying thank you
This was WONDERFUL! Thank you so very much for sharing.❣
some more very important pieces of the puzzle finding me through you
thank you for this gifts
It resonated so much with me, as many comments I felt guilty at certain point to feel sadness, even people & your family tell U don't feel sad, & I followed Eckhart Tolle imagine how guilty I felt to detach to my emotions, Thank U, thank U for your wisdom 😇
I wanted to hit the like button 100 more times. Thank you for sharing this message. This was exactly what I needed to hear
This is such an important video!! Thank you so much for speaking about this topic and for sharing these Truths with the world
Thank youuuu!!!.🙏🙏🙏 I needed this balancing message🙏🙏🙏🥰
Thank you for bringing this subject, knowing that the emotions of sadness is okay and all aspects are all part of being human, because that is why we came here was to experience being human. I was told this past year that one of my Granddaughters is a very old soul, and she will be having an awakening soon, she is 6 yrs old, I wish I would of asked what that will look like for her, she is in most respects a very normal child, but there has always been a wisdom within her as. Well. At 3 yrs old she was drawing and she showed her family and when asked what it was she said “a Covid” and it was pretty accurate, considering she was a 3 yr old it was in the midst of Covid, I should add, there are other ways she shows her wisdom, so I was not surprised when I was told she was a very very old soul.
This is a very brave video from a true pioneer of spirituality. You always teach me something but this was very relatable. Excellent video ❤
I thanked my spirit guides for the synchronicity of this video coming out literally right now. Thank you for all that you do.
Excellent....just Awesome. Thanks for this truth and knowledge. I hope this message reach millions.
You are awesome! Thank you for your guidance!❤
